Speaking of amazon reviews. I read that they deleted thousands of 1 star reviews of hillary's book.

@AcidBurn I believe that. There's something very dodgy about these reviews

@imLobo Do you honestly not know how to look up anything for yourself? You're obviously a brain dead liberal waiting to be spoon fed what you "need to know".

You could even go to the book on Amazon's site and see verified purchasers talking about their reviews being taken down. The story has been reported on all over the place. We're not talking about finding a needle in a haystack here. I'm sure that even you could find an article to read all by yourself.

@imLobo As someone claiming to be a centrist, you should appreciate people looking things up for themselves, from multiple sources. Is Google really that difficult for you to use?

@imLobo You are going to launch personal attacks rather than do a little of the simplest research? What a miserable existence you must lead. Then again, I hear ignorance is bliss.

You can apologize whenever you are ready. But, from the behavior I've already seen from you, you are far too childish to admit you're wrong.

@imLobo Let's go back to the beginning. This post is about Amazon's review system. I mentioned an article I recently read about Amazon deleting reviews. You then jumped in. You proceeded to call me names in the name of your love for Hillary. You made this political and you are the only one spewing hate here.

You do not need to quote the articles to me. I read them. I was the only one willing to look the up, remember?

I can appreciate your desire to have the whole truth. It's a shame you are missing so much of it. Amazon has a lot of reviews on their site that are not from verified purchasers.

Again reviews of people who did not buy the book can not post a review of it. [/quote]
This is absolutely 100% false. There are tons of reviews on Amazon that are not from verified purchasers.

There are several other things not addressed by either the article or yourself. There were many 5 and 1 star reviews from unverified purchasers. How many of those 5 star reviews were deleted? Why focus on the 1 star reviews?

How do you explain the people who are verified purchasers that have had their reviews deleted multiple times? Don't believe me? Go read the reviews for yourself. They are easy to find and are many in number.

I can also appreciate you not liking a source based on a bias they may have. This is why I encourage people to do their own research. See how that works?

@imLobo So you are telling me I will not be able to go to Amazon and find reviews from unverified purchasers anywhere?
I understand Amazon has policies in place to try to catch fake reviews. That does not explain why verified purchasers are having their reviews deleted. Your refusal to address that question shows me the bias you clearly have.
By the way, feel free to keep spewing hate and calling me names. You have discredited yourself to the point that your words couldn't possibly mean any less.

I've wasted enough of my time with you and this political argument you started and sucked me into. Have a good day. Oh! Be proud to be a liberal. There's no need to try to hide it.

@imLobo You flew in here and started a political conversation. You immediately jumped to Hillary's defense and started with the name calling and personal attacks. I know critical thinking isn't really your thing, but this one seems obvious.

How do you figure Amazon did nothing wrong when they deleted critical reviews from verified purchasers? In case you don't know what that means; a verified purchasers is one that purchased the item from amazon.

I'm not bailing because I am wrong. Amazon deleted critical reviews of verified purchasers. It's a fact. There is nothing to be wrong about. You can claim whatever you want about me and the sources you begged for. I fully understand you would rather live in a world where queen Hillary can do no wrong and everyone is out to get her. The fact is there are verified purchasers of her book writing about their reviews being deleted. It's a fact. You can go see for yourself.

This conversation is going nowhere. You might have nothing better to do than think you're winning some argument you started, which is ok, but I have much better ways to spend my time.

@imLobo So your "logic" dictates that if they didn't discuss it, it didn't happen? You put way too much faith in them.

Verified purchasers saying their reviews are being deleted. Explain to me again how I'm a liar.
@imLobo Why are you making this about republicans? This is about Amazon deleting negative reviews by verified purchasers. It's that simple.

@imLobo So you think you've disproven the fact that verified purchasers are claiming their negative reviews were deleted?

@imLobo If amazon has automatic policies in place to catch fake reviews they should be deleting 0 reviews by verified purchasers. Did you ever think that a lot of people write their review and move on with life, not knowing whether it was deleted or not? Who goes back and checks on a review they wrote?!

The simple fact is you called me a liar. You just saw for yourself you were wrong.
@imLobo Because, like I said, Amazon does allow unverified reviews, despite you saying they don't.
